Kesha and James + Why I second shoot
September 16, 2008

 

 

I shot Kesha and James' wedding with Meghan Aileen in Manhattan Beach at Verandas. You can read Meghan's blog post about here. There were two series of pictures that I really liked from their wedding, so I put them together a bit differently......

People sometimes ask me why I post pictures on my blog of weddings that I have shot with other people. There are several reasons :)

  • Although I work with all kinds of photographers, some photogs hire me because I am a "specialist" at what I do. Wedding Photojournalism is NOT a style; it is a craft unto itself. As such, another photographer (or perhaps their client) may want this incorporated into their wedding. The addition of my work complements the strengths and talents of other photographers :)
  • I get to shoot with some cool photographers.
  • I always learn things when I shoot with other people.
  • It offers different creative opportunities that I might otherwise not get.
  • I'm a photographer ;)

Anyway, here are some pics from the wedding! Enjoy, and thanks to Meghan for being so cool and easy to work with! :)

The decor and favors on the tables were in black and white, and I liked the graphic quality of the image better in black and white... so, uhm... I made it B + W. :)

I shot it while leaning over a staircase leading from the cocktail/reception area to the dining room.

I'm not sure what is on the little LCD screen all the ladies were looking at, but it was obviously very entertaining!
